I love music as much as I love books.
You may have noticed this, with me adding songs to every post I make.
Music is one of my four greatest passions (reading, writing, music and watching).
Music inspires me. The song, the melody, the combination of sound and lyrics... it makes me feel.
Happiness. sadness, nostalgia, elation.
Everyone have a song somewhere out there, just for them. Songs whom their keys fit right into the lock that releases all the emotions within us.
Sounds familiar?
Thant's because reading makes us feel the exact same way.
Only books don't have a build in melody. There are words (lyrics), and the melody is the one each of us makes up in our mind.
If the words click with something within ourselves, the melody will come effortlessly, beautifully. If not, there will be no melody, and the lyrics will fall flat.
How can it be that someone absolutely loved a certain book while another person hated it?
Simple: we see the words, but we interpret them differently from one another. Each and every one of us create the melody we see fit.
For some, the melody never comes.
For others, it's strong and brave and magnificent.
Either the key clicks. Either it doesn't. Either it only goes halfway in.
And that's why, in every book, every song and even this post... there will be those who hates it and those who loves it. No matter what.
All that's left is for us is to accept this. But that's the hard part, isn't it?
Did you know that we, humans, are completely identical in 99% of our DNA?
Why, then, we're still so different from one another?
That's all because of that tiny, little 1%.
I believe that one percent is responsible for so many things.
I also believe it's responsible for the way we interpret music and books and passions in life.
I believe that tiny one percent is what makes all the difference in the world.
What do you think? Do you agree with me\don't agree with me?
As much as I want everyone to agree with me, it's okay not to.
If we all thought exactly the same, it would be a boring, boring world.
And, personally speaking, I don't do well with boredom ;)

"Writing is... being able to take something whole and fiercely alive that exists inside you in some unknowable combination of thought, feeling, physicality, and spirit, and to then store it like a genie is tense, tiny black symbols on a calm white page. If the wrong reader comes across the words, they will remain just words. But for the right readers, your vision blooms off the page and is absorbed into their minds like smoke, where it will re-form, while and alive, fully adapted to its new environment."
